Ot: Planning On Moving To The Us,...where Is Best?

I'm planning on moving to the US, where would you suggest?

I have a lot of plans, but where is -the- place?

Detroit is a nice bet. The city has a lot of great live music, I have been told.

Where do you live now, if you don't mind me asking?

#43567

come to Canada man!

Toronto is a really great place.

And if you don't want to feel home-sick, and you want a more European environment, Montreal is the place for you.

But if you have your heart set on the US, then Chicago is great:

edit: Actually, Chicago is the only city in the US I liked that I visited..

New Jersey :lol:

J/K dont come anywhere near new jersey, its pretty crappy. If you go outside, you die of air pollution. Thats how I lost my sister :(

Maybe you should go to where you can get a job ;)

I wouldn't move to St. Louis if I were you - despite having a supposedly decent music scene, it's really pretty boring here, with judgmental people and not much nightlife. From what I hear, Chicago is a really great place to live...

:D

Amsterdam,...

What if the choice was between NY and LA?

ever thought about moving to Texas? its great down here. Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio are all kickass cities. Its hotter than hell in the summer (seriously) but other than that its pretty fun.

Come to Florida :D :surfer dude:

What's your profession Three Drives? May be worth checking out where is a good place for those in your profession.

Although were I looking to move, my main consideration would be wherever has the lowest taxes. So which states have the lowest sales and income tax, folks? :lol:

San Fransisco! You won' find a more inegrated cultural and technological mecca.

I have not been to LA. I think New York is nice.

Canada is very nice. You should come to Halifax. You can come visit me! I will show you all the great sites! We the best comic store in the world, and a nice record store, and a nice newspaper store and a nice candy store!

stay away from virginia beach, virginia, its so damn boring here, just ask the webmaster over at aquaxp funny he lives right by me :lol:

Without a doubt....Washington D.C. It's a 3 hour train ride to New York and a very exciting and dynamic place to live. I've been here 11 years and don't plan on moving anywhere else. (Grew up in Detroit....I love Michigan but would only have a summer home there....too cold to live year round.)

Taha is right, you should seriously consider going to Canada. Been to the west of Canada (Calgary-Vancouver / V. Island).

The point is its much more european than America. I mean their culture is still deeply influenced by european ways of thinking, much more than the Americanw ay of life. They got living cities - in Europe, you will probably be used to see the cities as the center of cultural activity (so to say). Most American cities should not be entered past sunset ;) . Depending on how long you want to stay, Canada might be the better start before moving to America.

And after all, Canada still got Queen Elisabeth as the head of their country. Oh wait, come to think of it - better move to America - Middle, no better South America - South pole - far away :lol: !

Have fun,

I dont get it. You can move and settle in another country just like that? Or do you need to have a working visa or something?

I second the vote for DC... with one change. Make it the DC *area* :D I live about 10 min. outside of DC and I have to say it has been one of the greatest places to grow up (aside from the sniper incident... i live in Montgomery County <_<). But it's been great, I highly suggest it.
